Thread: Good strapless stay put bras?

All of my strapless bras fall down. All of them.

I normally wear straps but sometimes I have to wear something with a wide neckline or somesuch that means a strapless.

Suggestions to make them stay put, aside from cement?

Check out this discussion:

yeah, heh that's on my list. I'm using double sided tape now and it doesn't hold up though, so not sure if that would either!

Is there such a thing as heavy c-cups? :-)

Here's a thread I started a while back about that very thing. I'm actually a DD now and it still stays up.

Awesome. adding to my list.

On a different note slightly, yowza, that tape hurts!

what works for you totally depends on your shape. I used to swear by this stretch lace strapless bra that had silicone stitched across the topline of the cups, but after a couple kids, anything tight across the top of my boobs split them in half in a very unpretty way. ;)

that left me with hard cup styles, which gave great shape, but never stay up well on me.

when I'm desperate for strapless, I combine the two: I wear a shaped cup bra, with a supertight stretchy bra over it. the styles with silicone stitched along the back straps definitely help.

Ooh...I might have to try that too.


I had to use hard cup (with rubber lines in the sides no less) for this dress, but yeah, it slid a lot! I tried clear plastic straps at first but they dig in and create red lines and they sliiiiide to become loose!

I ended up using the regular straps for the bra, taped down near the armpit, with a sports bra over it and tucked under the edge to help stop the sliding, with the sport straps tucked in the top.

Sheesh! Maybe I'll just add a little loop to hold the bra straps in next time I wear that dress!

i know lane bryant made a pretty fabulous strapless bra, and they specifically cater to larger breasted ladies! i looove mine!

I keep hearing all these good things about Lane Bryant bras...the only problem is I'm not big enough for them, lol!

(to clarify that - I wish I could fit into their bras!)

I swear I have the weirdest boobs for bra fitting.

I have a silicone self adhesive bra that is strapless and backless - I think the name is Shantilla Lite. I got it at Wal-mart. It's hand-washable. I haven't worn it for dancing yet but did wear it with a backless gown for my 40'th b-day party. I'm a DD cup and everything stayed in place perfectly all evening through all the partying and hugs. It takes a bit of practice to get it on just right but once you get the hang of it, it's comfortable.

The tape idea again...LOL, if only they could see us. BTW, I removed a costume from a beautiful 36B "sweet nothings" strapless bra purchased here on Bhuz a few weeks ago to attach to a larger one. Much too nice to toss out, has sturdy comfy sides - free to first pm

On the tape issue - how do you remove it from the costume? I just had it on my regular bra (thankfully) and the stuff will not come off!

(Glad I didn't use it on my lycra costume!)

do those really work???? i've seen some at victori secret..they looked like a good idea..btu you can't return them..and i was worried they only worked for smaller, perkier breasts...unlike mine... but if you say they work then i'll have to give them a shot!

Well, like I mentioned, I haven't tried dancing in them yet but they seemed to work pretty well. They stayed in place and once you place them right (takes practice) they can give a nice shape to the bust. The ones at Walmart were only around $20 so it's worth a shot. I just got a new dance top that is off the shoulder so I'll have to try it with that someday.
